Creative Mornings Melbourne

Creative Mornings is a breakfast lecture series for the creative community. They run free monthly events it cities all over the world. In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg started Creative mornings out of a desire for ongoing, accessible, creative events for the New York Community. Any event would be free of charge and open for anyone to join. They would be held one Friday morning a month, early enough for people to make it to work after.

Today, they are hosted in 106 cities and organized by talented volunteer hosts and their teams. These volunteers organize local chapters that celebrate the cities creative talent and promote open spaces to connect with like-minded creative individuals. Some have called it “TED for the rest of us.”

Each talk has a different theme and speakers vary from design legends, hometown heroes and creative leaders. Creative Mornings are free thanks to support of local sponsors, venues and partners. Melbourne’s Creative Morning breakfast is supported by Red Bubble, Clement coffee, Billy Blue College of Design, Skillshare and held at the DonkeyWheel house.

Some past speakers have included Jack Mussett from Motherbird, stylist Phebe Schmidt, artist Ghost Patrol, graphic designer Andrew Ashton and many many more.

The first Creative Morning for 2015 was certainly one to remember. Adele Varcoe talked on the global theme of UGLY and made participates get involved in an uncomfortable but fun group exercise that made them rethink the way the thought about fashion and beauty.

The next theme is Climate. We look forward to seeing what creative mornings Melbourne has in store for us!

Anyone can attend. Just register beforehand to reserve your spot. If you need a little help convincing your boss to let you attend, Creative Mornings have you covered.
